Fall Thrills and Halloween Chills Blog Hop!

Fall Thrills and Halloween Chills Blog Hop!

This hop is all about the beauty of Fall and the haunting spookiness of Halloween all wrapped up in one. So grab a cup of hot cocoa and enjoy the thrills and chills along the way.

There are six stops and you won't want to miss any of them!

There is also a complete line-up at the end of this post just in case you need it.

And what would a hop be withoutBlog Candy!!!

Each blog has a bit of Candy that needs to be won.

And Here's How:

Be sure to be a FOLLOWER and COMMENT on each blog!!!

If you are a FOLLOWER, your comment could be randomly drawn to win some fantastic prizes!

Read each blog post carefully to see what is being offered at each stop along the way!

Here is my project:

This hauntingly, frightful mage is from Treasure Box Designs' Trouble's Brewing Collection. Doesn't he just spook the socks off of you! Or maybe he just blows you over with all his cuteness!!!

He is on an A2 sized card base. The background paper is from Mambi Sheets Halloween stack from Me and My Big Ideas. I used two sentiments from Punkin' Patch Stamps' Trick or Treat set. They are the Beware and Carpe Noctem sentiments. For my mage, I used some scraps I had from Graphic 45's Jolly Jack-O-Lantern sheet of paper. I love this paper and I only have one sheet left. If you happen to have any of this in your stash, I will welcome the donation. Ok, just kidding - ah, no in fact I would take the donation. LOL! Like I said, I love this paper. The pattern can be used for so many fun projects!!! For his staff, I wanted the crystal ball to shine like the moon. To give it this effect, I cut the shape in a pale yellow and then used Memento Inks to add the color. I used Dandelion, Canteloupe, and Potter's Clay.

One lucky commenter (as long as you are a follower of my blog) will win one free file of choice from Treasure Box Designs. That's right, you can pick any file you want from the Treasure Box Store and there are so many to choose from!!!

Remember to win, you need to be a follower of my blog and leave a comment!

You have until Sunday night, October 18th at 11:59 pm EST to hop along with us! All winners will be announced on Monday October 19, 2015 on each individual blog. The winners will also be posted on M Miranda Creations Facebook Page after all the winner posts go live on each blog.

Here's the complete hop lineup in case you need to start at the beginning! Enjoy!

Your card is so Spooktacular!! Your little Wizzard totes totes adorab!!! You sure came up with lots of clever and creative ideas as your created your little guy.. Your coloring is Faboolous!! YOU so ROCK!!

This is really cute. I like the paper and the crystal ball at the end of the staff simply glows! Nice shading. Thanks for sharing some inspiration! Can't help you out with the paper but wish I had some in my stash too :)

Thank you, Michele! I had a couple of choices for background paper and had to have my kiddos make the final decision. Glad they chose this one as I think it works perfectly. Thank you so much for hopping with us!

Thank you, Lori! You won't regret using files from Treasure Box Designs. The cutest around in my opinion!!! I'm not up to date on Cricut machines as I use the Cameo; but if the Explore is the newest machine that cuts SVG files, the answer is yes!!!

Bonnie, so glad you are a follower so you have a chance at the blog candy! And I'm excited that you will be looking around here. I hope you find some fun inspiration!!! Thank you so much for hopping with us today!!!

Yes your card does blow me over with Cutness. Love the paper you used. Have been looking forward to this hop. This is my favorite time of year. I'm already a follower of yours. cindys-greencricut.blogspot.com

Just a newbie here, got my machine 3 weeks ago and WOW! I think I've been surfing and finding such great sites more than playing but not too much more. Still learning, there are some great ideas and patterns that I just have to have NOW!

I agree with you, he is most definitely more cute than scary! Thank you for entering the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge, “Halloween or Make a Card”. We hope to see you back again soon! Karola, CGE DT, InvisiblePinkCards

This is adorable. Very cute little wizard and perfect backdrop for him. Thank you so much for entering our ATG challenge at Through The Craft Room Door this week. We are looking forward to seeing you again in the next challenge.SaraTTCRD DTFP3 {My Blog}
